Morons, Morons Everywhere

Especially in colleges, unfortunately:

Mike Adams, Townhall.com columnist (and former beneficiary of FIRE's help in his own free speech case) is the latest person to alert FIRE about an outrageous case at Los Angeles City College.

Last fall, when assigned to give an informative speech on any topic, student Jonathan Lopez delivered a speech to his Speech 101 class in which he spoke about his own religious views and experience. Unfortunately for Lopez, his professor, John Matteson, did not appreciate this example of an informative speech and refused to grade him for it, instead advising him to "Ask God what your grade is." He even put this "evaluation" in writing.

How do individuals this jaw droppingly stupid get to teach at a college? I'm sorry, but there is no way this could be a "brain fart" moment.

Why do I think Mr. Matteson will not be asked to attend a "sensitivity training" seminar.
